Cottage was very clean. Little bit out of the way especially in the evening. But I guess that's a personal choice. The Canon pub was good for a meal and friendly staff.

Comfortable and very clean property. Good location for seeing east Devon and west Dorset towards Bridport and Lyme Regis. Various elements of equipment were tired and needed replacing. Externally the property does not have kerb appeal but inside is good (barring some of the equipment).
